Summary:
Although TANGUAY and other early jurisprudence remain useful, and are frequently cited, ss. 28(4) has supplanted them: CUB 21817. Thus, when a claimant leaves his job, he must show that he comes under any of the enumerated grounds, or that "in all the circumstances", had "no reasonable alternative".

Summary:
Employees need their wages and salary to be paid on time. Paying employees is fundamental in human experience. This is inherently just cause, whether or not expressed in s. 28. Parliament would have to enact that no pay or slow pay are emphatically not just cause for quitting.
